Yes, there were witnesses who testified against Ernesto Miranda at both trials.
After the US Supreme Court ruled that the confession used to convict him in his first trial was inadmissible in court because it was given in ignorance of his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination, the first jury verdict was vacated and the case was remanded for a new trial. In the second trial, witness testimony and other evidence were sufficient to result in a second guilty verdict.
Ernesto Miranda was sentenced to 20-30 years in prison at his second trial, and released on parole in 1972. He was killed in a barroom fight in 1976.

Is the government one of the parties in criminal law?
Yes, in criminal cases, the government is represented by the prosecutor. When a defendant is being charged with a crime, they are being accused of violating a rule that the government has issued, thus a "criminal trial" is essentially the government "suing" a defendant. On paper, when citing a case, the plaintiff (or prosecution) is always listed first, so you can infer that Arizona v. Johnson is a criminal trial because the state is listed first. The state of Arizona is seeking retribution from the a defendant: Johnson. However, cases like Miranda v. Arizona, a person, Miranda, is listed first. Because Miranda is listed first, you can infer that Miranda is seeking retribution from the state of Arizona. Any case where a person is listed before a state (or two people are listed, without a state) is a civil case.In the case of Miranda v. Arizona, Miranda sued the state of Arizona because he did not understand his rights (which consequently became the Miranda Rights). In a case like Gideon v. Wainwright, you can also infer that this is a civil case because a person is, again, listed first (and a state is not listed at all). So, Gideon sued Wainwright.

Whose case established the concept of the Miranda Warning?
On March 13, 1963, police arrested Ernesto Miranda for stealing money from a Phoenix, Arizona bank worker. During two hours of questioning, Miranda confessed to the crime, but was never offered an attorney during his interrogation and eventually received a prison sentence based primarily on his confession. On June 13, 1966, the U.S. Supreme Court reversed the Arizona Court's decision and granted Ernesto Miranda a new trial at which his confession could not be admitted as evidence. The ruling established the "Miranda" rights of persons accused of crimes.

What was the original case of Arizona v Miranda?
There were two trials, both titled State of Arizona v. Ernesto Miranda. Miranda was convicted of kidnapping and rape at his first trial and again on retrial.In the appeal of the first trial (Miranda v. Arizona,(1966)), the US Supreme Court held that Miranda's constitutional rights had been violated, resulting in the first conviction being vacated and the case being remanded for retrial with Miranda's confession excluded as evidence.Miranda was subsequently convicted at his second trial. The decision was affirmed by the Arizona Supreme Court. The US Supreme Court denied certiorari for his second petition, making the Arizona Supreme Court decision final.
What do the Miranda rights have to do with the Sixth Amendment?
In Miranda v Arizona the Supreme Court ruled that Miranda's rights under the Fifth and Sixth Amendments had been violated. The 5th Amendment states that no person shall be compelled to be a witness against himself in any criminal case. The 6th provides that the defendant shall have the assistance of counsel for his defense. The 6th Amendment contains five principles that affect the rights of a defendant in a criminal prosecution: the right to a speedy and public trial, the right to be tried by an impartial jury, the right to be informed of the charges, the right to confront and call witnesses, and the right to an attorney. In Brown v Mississippi (1936) the Court ruled the 5th protected defendants from forced confessions. In Gideon v Wainwright (1963) the Court held that persons who have been accused of felonies have a right to an attorney even if they can't afford one. In Escobedo v Illinois (1964) the Court ruled that when a person is denied legal counsel their 6th Amendment right to counsel is violated. In 1965 the Court decided to hear Miranda's case and combined it with several others. The decision was handed down in 1966 and the case came to be generally known as the Miranda case. The ruling came to be known as the Miranda rights. The Miranda warning informs a person of their 5th Amendment rights against self-incrimination and the 6th Amendment right to counsel.
What is Miranda doctrine?
The Miranda doctrine (and "Miranda warning") originate from Miranda v. Arizona in 1966. The US Supreme Court overturned Ernesto Miranda's conviction for rape and kidnapping based on its ruling that a suspect must be informed of his right to remain silent and right to have an attorney present before any statements he makes in police interrogation can be admissible in court. Because of this ruling, the police throughout the US now administer the "Miranda warning' ("you have the right to remain silent", etc.) immediately upon arresting a suspect to ensure he or she is aware of these rights.
What age do children have a say in court?
It depends on what kind of case, and what they want to say. There is no age requirement for a child to be a witness. If a 3 year old witnesses and event, he/she may be called to testify about it. However, children this young are often unable to be credible witnesses, and therefore generally aren't called as witnesses. If a child is a party to a case, he/she has the same rights as any adult litigant.
